Q

What happens during inhalation

A

involves the
contraction of the diaphragm (pulls lungs
downwards) and the external intercostal
muscles (expands the rib cage). These
contractions cause the pressure of the
intrapleural space to decrease and the volume
of the lungs to increase, bringing air into the
lung

Q

What happens during exhalation during

A 
relaxation of the diaphragm and the external
intercostal muscles, bringing
the lungs back up and closing
up the rib cage through
elastic recoil . This causes the
pressure of the intrapleural
space to increase and the
volume of the lungs to
decrease, driving air out of the
lungs. The internal
intercostal muscles can also
contract during a more
forced expiration, closing the
rib cage even more.

39

from areas of high pressure to areas of low
pressure through simple diffusion. This is required
for_______ and
internal respiration (gas exchange between
blood and tissues).

inspired air and lung alveolar capillaries)
40
Q

Pathway for carbon dioxide

A

Tissues → Blood → Air

41
Q

Pathway for oxygen

A

Air → Blood → Tissue

42
Q

Describe the structure of hemoglobin

A

tetrameric and has

a heme cofactor in each of its four subunits.

43
Q

What is a heme cofactor

A

organic molecules that
contain iron atoms, which bind oxygen. Thus,
each hemoglobin can carry up to four oxygen
molecules.

44
Q

What transports most of the

oxygen traveling in the blood.

A

Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2

45
Q

What is cooperativity?

A

process by which
the binding of one oxygen molecule to
hemoglobin makes it easier for others to bind
due to changes in the shape of the hemoglobin
polypeptide. This also works in reverse, allowing
efficient unloading of oxygen in body tissues.

46
Q

Carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) is produced when ______outcompetes oxygen for
hemoglobin binding. Carbon monoxide poisoning
occurs as a result, because oxygen can no longer
be transported efficiently.

A

carbon monoxide

47
Q

Carbaminohemoglobin (HbCO2 ) is a form of _______

A

hemoglobin that transports carbon dioxide.

48
Q

What does carbon dioxide dissolve into in blood?

A

bicarbonate

anion (HCO3 -).

49
Q

Is carbon dioxide much more soluble in blood than oxygen?

A

Yes

50
Q 
Reduced hemoglobin (H
\+ Hb)
A

is produced by H
+
ions binding to hemoglobin, outcompeting
oxygen and lowering oxygen binding affinity (less
HbO2 ). On the other hand, carbon dioxide
binding affinity is increased (more HbCO2

51
Q

Myoglobin

A

single peptide with one heme
cofactor. It has a much higher affinity for oxygen
than oxyhemoglobin and is found within cardiac
and skeletal muscle cells to bring oxygen in. Also,
myoglobin has a hyperbolic oxygen dissociation
curve because it does not undergo cooperativity
(hemoglobin’s curve is sigmoidal ).

52
Q

oxygen dissociation curve

A

reveals the
relationship between the saturation of hemoglobin
with oxygen in the blood and the partial pressure
of oxygen. Certain conditions will shift this curve
either left or right.

53
Q

right-shifted curve corresponds to what

A

lowered

affinity for oxygen in hemoglobin.

54
Q

main reasons for a right-shifted curve.

A
  • decreased pH
  • High partial pressure of carbon dioxide:
  • 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG)
  • Increased body temperature
55
Q

Decreased pH

A 
a lower pH means there is a
higher concentration of protons (H
\+ ), which
produces reduced hemoglobin. Reduced
hemoglobin (H
\+ Hb) has a lowered affinity for
binding oxygen, resulting in less HbO2
56
Q

High partial pressure of carbon dioxide

A

more carbon dioxide is converted to
bicarbonate anions (HCO3 -) and protons (H
+ ),
which lower oxygen binding affinity through
decreased pH.

57
Q

2,3-diphosphoglycerate

A

accumulates in cells that undergo anaerobic
respiration as a result of the loss of oxygen.
This compound decreases oxygen binding
affinity so more oxygen is released from
hemoglobin to fuel aerobic respiration.

58
Q

Increased body temperature:

A

correlates to
more cellular respiration, which uses up
oxygen and produces more carbon dioxide.
Thus, hemoglobin will need to unload more
oxygen for tissues to use and have decreased
oxygen binding affinity

59
Q

left-shifted curve corresponds to what

A

an increased

affinity for oxygen in hemoglobin.

60
Q

main reasons for a left-shifted curve

A 
Increased pH (more basic):
Low partial pressure of carbon dioxide
Fetal hemoglobin
fetus.
Decreased body temperature
61
Q

Increased pH (more basic)

A 
fewer protons (H
\+ )
to produce reduced hemoglobin (H
\+ Hb), so
more oxyhemoglobin (HbO2 ) remains
62
Q

Low partial pressure of carbon dioxide:

A

less
carbon dioxide is converted to bicarbonate
anions (HCO3 -) and protons (H
+ ), leading to
increased oxygen binding affinity through
increased pH.

63
Q

Fetal hemoglobin:

A

binds oxygen better than
adult hemoglobin to help give oxygen to the
fetus.

64
Q

Decreased body temperature:

A

less cellular
respiration, so hemoglobin isn’t influenced to
unload more oxygen and has an increased
oxygen binding affinity

65
Q

DAT Mnemonic: CADET, face Right!

A

CADET = Carbon dioxide, Acid,
2,3-Diphosphoglycerate, Exercise and
Temperature.
CADET Increase → Right shifted curve

66
Q

What is bohr effect

A

hemoglobin has decreased oxygen
affinity when carbon dioxide is high. Carbon
dioxide is converted to bicarbonate anions and
protons, which produce reduced hemoglobin
(H
+ Hb)

67
Q

Haldane effect

A

hemoglobin has increased
carbon dioxide affinity when oxygen is low. As a
result of low oxygen, reduced hemoglobin
(H
+ Hb) levels are higher and have a greater
affinity for carbon dioxide.

68
Q

bicarbonate buffering system equation

A

CO2 + H2 O ↔ H2 CO3 ↔ HCO3- + H+

69
Q

What catalyzed the bicarbonate buffering system

A

carbonic anhydrase both directions based

on concentrations

70
Q

Carbonic anhydrase is an

enzyme present ____-

A

red blood cells

71
Q

Carbonic acid

A

(H2 CO3 )

72
Q

Bicarbonate anion

A

(HCO3– )

73
Q

What is the chloride shift?

A

In erythrocytes (red blood cells) in the
systemic circulation, the partial pressure of
carbon dioxide is low. As a result, carbon
dioxide continuously diffuses in from the
tissues, and is converted into bicarbonate
and protons. Bicarbonate is able to diffuse
out of the cell, however, protons (H
+
) cannot
eave. As some bicarbonate diffuses out, this
creates a positive charge within the
erythrocyte, and chloride ions (Cl
-
) must
diffuse into the blood cell to cancel out the
positive charge of the protons.

74
Q

_____ of protons causes the pH to decrease
within the erythrocyte, resulting in the
conversion of ____ into reduced
____ Reduced hemoglobin has lower
affinity for O2
, leading to release of oxygen which diffuses to the tissues.

A

Increase
oxyhemoglobin
hemoglobin.

75
Q

Gas Exchange in Lungs

step 1

A

Blood travels to the lungs through bulk flow.

76
Q

Gas Exchange in Lungs

step 2

A

Since most of the carbon dioxide is present
in the blood plasma as bicarbonate ions
(HCO3
-
), the bicarbonate ions re-enter
erythrocytes at the lungs and chloride ions
leave through the reverse chloride shift.

77
Q

Gas Exchange in Lungs

step 3

A

The bicarbonate buffer system equation
proceeds in the reverse direction, producing
carbon dioxide and water. The carbon
dioxide exits into the alveoli as gas while
oxygen enters the blood, forming
oxyhemoglobin.

78
Q

Where is the medulla oblongata located?

A

brain

79
Q

What does the medulla oblongata control?

A

the diaphragm to regulate
respiratory rate. Central chemoreceptors and
peripheral chemoreceptors signal to the medulla.

oxygen is , peripheral chemoreceptors signal to
the______ to increase breathing rate.

A

A

(lowered blood pH)

87

a result of imbalances in carbon dioxide, oxygen,
or proton levels.

the lymphatic organs (T cells, B cells, natural killer
cells) that originate from the bone marrow. T cells
